Closing the Execution Gap: How Great Leaders and Their Companies Get Results

By Richard Lepsinger

Based on extensive research and years of practical experience, Closing the Execution Gap outlines five prerequisites for effective execution and five “Bridges” that differentiate companies that do it best. It also describes six “Bridge Builders” that leaders at all levels can use to close the execution gap and help people get things done. Specifically, it addresses:
